What is computational chemistry? At first glance, it looks like a video game, with\u00a0rules based on physics and mathematics, and molecules and atoms as building blocks. But this \u201cvirtual science\u201d is not a fantasy world \u2013 on the contrary: computational chemistry helps understanding nature\u2019s most interesting phenomena on the level of atoms.<\/p>\n

By using digital tools, computational chemists\u00a0help discovering new materials and medicinal drugs. At the\u00a0interdisciplinary\u00a0Cluster of Excellence “UniSysCat<\/a>“, scientists artificially modify biological systems, such as enzymes, to obtain energy from hydrogen and to build enzymatic batteries, known as biofuel cells. Also with the help of computational methods, they have tried to uncover some of the causes of mutation of the spike protein of coronavirus. Learn more about this innovative science from scientist Jovan Dragelj \u2013 and join him on a molecular journey!<\/p>\n
